It leaves the marketplace. It does not leave your list — and that is deliberate.
Sold is a status, not a deletion. The piece disappears from the marketplace at once, but the row stays, with the purchase date, purchase price, sale date and selling price. That is exactly what you need to prove your margin, and it respects the retention period.
It is also what feeds your margin VAT overview: purchase and sale side by side, per piece, per period. If the row vanished, that overview would have to be rebuilt from invoices every quarter.
On Instagram the post does stay up. That is why a comment noting the sale and pointing to the marketplace appears automatically under the post of a sold piece — the Instagram API cannot change the caption itself.

No. The temptation to delete a row as soon as something sells is strong, but that is precisely the moment you need it: the purchase price and date are your evidence for the margin, and the retention period only starts running then. In France that is five years after closing, in Belgium ten years.
In Belgium ten years for your VAT records — extended from seven to ten by the law of 20 November 2022. In the Netherlands seven years, in France five years after the register is closed, and in the United Kingdom six years, and longer for as long as the piece is unsold.
Vintro Pro keeps, per piece, what you paid, when, and where it came from. Your stock list and your margin VAT build themselves while you work.
